If you bought the new Crciut Anna’s Holiday Ornaments Cartridge from HSN in October, you are in for a treat today. Inspired by Victorian tussie mussies, this cone shaped ornament is light weight and perfect for filling with your favorite Christmas trimmings. I always hang this type of ornament near the bottom of the tree because Georgie loves to swat at them. Happily, this will not break!

Log into your Design Space account, and let’s make some ornaments! Here is the project URL: https://design.cricut.com/#/design/72584379 (Note: you must register your digital cartridge code in your Cricut.com account before starting the project)

Our set of Christmas Sentiment Stamps and Dies allows you to create endless sentiments for your cards and scrapbook pages. We know you have a lot of holiday cards to send to friends and loved ones, and with this set, you will have 32 sentiment phrases to choose from. Layer these sentiments with 4 different tag shapes, and you have so many options to work with! We love this gorgeous gold card, complete with snowflakes and topped with the perfect stamped sentiment.

That was so much fun! If you have this set, you know how wonderful it is for creating the perfect topper for all those holiday cards. Can you believe that there are only 59 days until Christmas? Keep up the card making and have a lovely weekend!
